Technical Abstract

Patent Claims
12 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

4

4. The one or more media of claim 1, wherein the performance threshold is further determined based on a capacity of a system executing the received query execution plan.

5

5. The one or more media of claim 1, wherein the predicted resource usage comprises a predicted processing unit utilization.

6

6. The one or more media of claim 1, wherein the performance threshold is further determined based on a disk input/output capacity of a system executing the received query execution plan.

7

7. The one or more media of claim 1, wherein determining, for each component, the predicted resource usages associated with executing the component comprises determining an expected time duration associated with executing the component.

8

8. The one or more media of claim 1, wherein halting execution of the query associated with the query execution plan comprises undoing at least one change made to a database prior to halting execution of the query execution plan.

9

9. The one or more media of claim 1, further comprising: training a machine learning model to classify the query based on predicted resource usage metrics; and classifying the query using the machine learning model; wherein halting execution of the query associated with the query execution plan is further based on said classifying the query using the machine learning model.

10

10. The one or more media of claim 9, further comprising: updating the machine learning model using unsupervised learning.

11

11. The one or more media of claim 9, wherein the machine learning model is a query estimation model trained to estimate runtime for queries based on a set of query attributes.

15

15. The one or more media of claim 12, wherein the threshold time duration is determined based on an amount of resources available to a system during execution of the query execution plan.

16

16. The one or more media of claim 12, wherein the threshold time duration is determined based on completion times of the prior executions of the query execution plan.

18

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the performance threshold is further determined based on a capacity of the system when executing the received query execution plan.

19

19. The system of claim 17, wherein the predicted resource usage comprises a predicted processing unit utilization.
